The other day I gave some of my Fashion Week predictions and now with the first couple of shows behind us I can add one to the list of notable styles spotted this season and it probably won’t come as much of a surprise that it’s from Mulberry. I have yet to spot anyone wearing the brand’s limited-edition buffalo leather New York Clipper bag ($950), which was released in celebration of the opening (on Sept. 7th), of their first ever New York City flagship. Sure it’s cute that it has NYC touches like an apple and it’s a relatively season-less design (unless you get it in white — it also comes in blue and red), given that it’s basically just a classic Mulberry style with a little bit of extra detail, but come on, can’t we be a litttttle more original, it’s a celebration after-all! Luckily Mulberry also came-out with a second limited edition bag to celebrate their NYC opening and I spotted one lucky woman already sporting it (only 10 of them were made!). The bag in question is the Oak Ostrich Alexa ($6,250). Does this bag not make you foam at the mouth with excitement (jealousy!?)?? It’s gorgeous! It has the classic design of the Alexa that most of us love, but added originality without being so out of the box that you couldn’t easily wear it every day this season thanks to its apple-shaped rivets. The caramel ostrich leather….I’m so sick of hearing “I die,” but there’s nothing else to say…! Aside, I guess, from God please give me this bag!
